1.Input/playback level control faders

These faders have two functions:

One function controls the recording level. Input levels applied to the INPUT jacks (front or rear) are controlled by this knob.

The other function controls the tape playback level of each track. For more information on using these faders, refer to the “Basic Recording” and “Basic Playback Procedure” sections.

2.Master fader [MASTER]

This fader controls the output level from LINE OUT L and R.

3.Record track select switch [REC TRK]

This switch is used to select recording tracks. Press the switch repeatedly to select the desired track. The track indicator (red) of the selected track lights up to indicate that this track is REC READY. To cancel the track selection, press the switch repeatedly until none of the track indicators are lit.

<Note>

When the Track Down button is “ON,” the REC TRK switches are disabled. Also, if the Auto Bounce button or Track Down button is switched on and off while any one REC TRK switch is set to REC READY state, the selected REC TRK switch will be canceled. In this case, reselect the recording track using the REC TRK switch.

5.Auto bounce indicator

This lights up in green when you press the Auto Bounce button, indicating that the corresponding track is selected as the auto bounce destination.

6.Pan pot knob [PAN]

When the AUX indicator is lit, use these knobs to adjust the stereo imaging of channel signals routed to the INPUT faders. When the MON MIX indicator is lit, use these knobs to control the stereo imaging of each track sound.

7.Monitor/AUX send level control knob [MON MIX/AUX]

This knob enables you to adjust the level of the channel signal for monitoring or to control the level of the signal sent to the AUX bus.

8.Equalizer control knobs [EQ HI, EQ LO]

The X-34 is equipped with a two-band, shelving-type EQ. These knobs are used to adjust tonal quality of the signals routed to the channel faders. The following settings are available:

HI: Signals with a frequency of 10kHz will be boosted and cut up to +/–12 dB.

LO: Signals with a frequency of 100Hz will be boosted and cut up to +/–12 dB.

9.Trim knob

4.Record track indicator

This indicator lights up in red to indicate that the track is in the REC READY mode when you press the REC TRK switch.

Use this knob to adjust the input level depending on the sound source input to the rear panel MIC IN jack (1/4" or XLR).

This knob enables you to adjust from a signal that ranges from line level to mic level.
